An Issue of S10,000,000 Worth

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEEALD
BUFFALO, July GA cleaner named
Albert Jones, on Friday night found
behind the heater in postal car 81 at
the Grand Central depot six official
envelopes that had been opened, but
there were in them anumbep of checks
in transit for New York banks. Jones
reported the matter and an investiga-
ton was instituted, all those knowing
of the matter being instructed to keep
quiet. The checks found amounted
TO $4,000 and none hal been stolen.
There had been no money in the en-
velopes. Chief Clerk Howe's theory
is that the bunch of letters, through
some mistake, fell upon the counter
and was overlooked when the other
letters were pouched and that some
thief got into the car, discovered the
letters, opened them, found in the
contents nothing but checks and threw
them behind the counter. The pouch
in which the letters came from Albany
contained a number ofpackages which
are not disturbed. Howe does not
think any OF his crew did it, Car
cleaner Jones has been talking about
the find in spite OF injunctions to the
contrary and told some of his friends
that he had found $25, 1000 for which
he ez yects big reward.

ing the possible inundation of the cap
ital, as there have been exceedingly
heavy rains for the last few days, and
last evening many OF the streets were
were submerged, the sewers not being
able to carry off the floods. The
monument near the cathedral
this morning showed Lake Tezcoco
to be about five centimetres above the
level of the plaza and with very little
more rain the lower parts of the city
would inevitably be inundated. To-
day the shops in some sections are
being pumped out and the streets are
partly flooded. Lake Tezcoco, into
which the drainage OF the city is sup
posed to flow, is filling up with dirt
and debris from the city and it is most
imperative that the drainage plans be
carried out with the utmost expedi-
ton. Even partial inundation would
damage the city millions of dollars.
Two centuries ago an inundation
caused loss here of $40, 100000.

Funeral of Prophet Taylor
in Salt Lake City.
HIS FIVE WIDOWS PRESENT.
Residents in the Mexican Capital
Alarmed by Threatened Sub
mersiOn of the City.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SALT LAKE Cry, Utah. July 90
The funeral to-day OF the late Presi-
dent Taylor was attended by much
less number than paid homage to the
remains of Brigham Young. Many
of the attendants were in hilarious
spirits and the absence of evident sor-
row was the subject of remark among
the gentiles. Notwithstanding that
over a hundred special police were on
duty much hoodlumism was displa
around the tabernacle. 1t is estimated
that about 10000 people viewed the
remains between I and II 80. A very
noticeable feature was the preponder-
ance of females, many mothers with
infants in their arms stood in the blaz-
ing sun for hours patiently awaiting
their turn to view the dead chief. The
family of the deceased occupied six
front rows. He left five widows and
numerous cnllureH.
THE EXERCISES
Commenced at II o'clock, August M.
Cannon presiding. A letter written
by the deceased TO Brigham Young in
1873 in relation to the disposition OF
his remains was read of which the fol-
lowing is a part. 81 have no desire
that any formula should be observed.
l wish my body washed clean, clothed
with white linen garments and robes.
shoes, aprons, cap ETC., and laid in a
coffin sufficiently large to contain the
body without pressure. Let the coffin
be neat and comely but plain and
strong. The body to be placed in an
outer strong box with light cotton or
wooden mattress or bed and pillow
for the head. Let there be service
such as prevails ut the time among the
saints. A plain slab may be placed
over the body and stone at the head
and feet. On the head-stone is to be
given an account OF my name, age
and birth as shall suit the feelings OF
my family"
The speaker eulogized the deceased,
referred to him as martyr, and de-
clared that his death was brought
about by the life he was forced to lead
after he went into retirement" as
they termed his flight from the law.
During the services a young man who
had been sitting near the coffin arose
and asked permission to say few
words. The presiding officer, who
recognized the man as an apostle son
OF President Taylor, declared that no
one could-be permitted to speak ex-
cept those on the programme. Young
Taylor persisted and commenced an
address to the congregation stating
that he had not spoken to his father
for five years, but that he held him in
reverence. He did not believe the de-
ceased sanctioned the anti-polygamy
plank adopted by the late constitu-
tional convention. His voice was
finally drowned by the regular speak
er. The services at the grave were
brief, consisting of hymn and
PRAYER.

Whitney announces that the negotia-
tions which have been pending for
months between the Navy Depart
ment and the Hotchkiss Ordnance
Company have eliminated in con-
tract, the effect of which will be the
establishment of branch manufac-
tory for the Hotchkiss guns in this
country.
"Our secondary militaries," the
Secretary said to-day, "have hereto
fore been made abroad, and the crea-
ton of an establishment for their
manufacture in this country will
mark another and important era in
the construction Of the navy. We
have elected the fact that taking
the superiority OF American machinery
into consideration, guns may be made
as cheaply here as abroad. 1t was a
matter of necessity with us, either to
set up a nNlnufactury OF our own or
get the Hotchkiss Company to come
here, since we can no longer afford to
be dependent on other countries for
our war material" With the Bethle.

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Buil Traders lndulging i'm an
Effcctual Raid.

SAN Francisco, July 29.-The local
wheat market continues to exhibit in
creased strength daily and prices are
advancing steadily, with the "bul"
traders apparently in full control of
the market. Seller 1887, which is
now the favorite trading option, has
advanced from $1.95 to $2.13, which
was the closing figure tonight. There
was great crush of spectators on
Change to-day, and as the market has
been largely oversold, the "bears"
were compelled to put up margins
very freely, though no failures are re-
ported. Wheat has been coming
towards the city in great quantities,
but nearly all the call board ware
houses at Port Costa and other points
are filed, and in the present condition
of the ocean shipping movement a
blockade is threatened. 1t is claimed
that the Liverpool quotations, freight
added, is 81 per GENITAL under the prices
current here to-day.

SpRECKEEs, SYSTEM.
He Refuses to Wait an Hour for
the American Mails.


SAN Francisco, July 29.-The Cen
tral Pacific overland train bringing
the eastern mail for the Hawaiian
Islands and colonies was but an hour
late to-day, but the departure OF the
steamship Mariposa was not delayed
in order that the mail could be taken
along. John d. Spreckels Ss Bros,
agents state in explanation that as
their contracts are with the colonial
governments and as all the English
mail to 90 by this steamer was in the
city this morning, there was nothing
to delay the steamer for. The mail
therefore that arrived to-day must lay
here a month before another steamer
sails, as Spreckels receives little or
nothing from the United States. He
declines any longer to pay the fine
that the New Zealand government i'm
poses upon the lines for delay, to ac-
eommodate non-supporters OF his
service. 1t is thought that the mails
DELAYED here to-day contain official
dispatches from Washington in regard
to the Honolulu troubles.

House, traveller for the A. G. Kee-

cago, was arrested this afternoon on
the steamer Mariposa just before that
vessel sailed for Australia, where
House was going. The .arrest was
made on warrant issued on complaint
of Samuel Nathans who charged
House with stealing a gold watch
from him in 1880. House admitted
that he had been thief and went un-
der the name of Millhouse, but said
that he reformed eight years ago. He
claims that the watch was stolen by
another man with the help of himself
and Nathans and that the arrest has
been caused by Nathans for the pur-
pose of blackmail. Judge Hornblower
reserved decision and released House
on bail.

Some startling Statements by
Messenger McMicba1Is,

CHICAGO, July 29.-Even greater in
terest than usual was manifested in
the Doodle trials to-day. Much of the
time was devote. to introducing docu-
mentary evidence of stealing by the
gang. An important witness was put
on the stand in the person of
McMichalls, Messenger of the County
Board. He confirmed all previous
damaging testimony against the de-
PENDANTS. relating a conversa-
ton that had taken place
in his hearing in which
various jobs were discussed. and
measures taken to prevent the dissat-
;sfied ones from "squealing." Once
when hardware merchant named
Busz sent word that unless his bills
were paid he would take from his safe
certain documents and turn them
over to the Grand Jury, Commissioner
Van Pelt became greatly enraged and
wanted measures taken to have BUSES

"James Conners, lumberman, came

north OF the Lake to-day, and says
that a man arrived at one of his camps
on Tuesday and wanted job of cook
ing, or some light work. Conners was
shown a photograph OF McGarigle,

man who came to his camp. The
supposition is that Blake anticipated

ashore before reaching there. Mr..

CAPTAIN BUNCE
Says That tn Atlanta's Test
was satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Secretary

Capt. Bunce, commanding the steam
er Atlanta, regarding her accidental
grounding off Newport on Tuesday
during the fog. Capt. 4.Bunce says
that no injury was done to the vessel,
with the possible exception of having
broken piece off the end OF the tenn
porary cast-iron propeller blade. She
proceeded to sea the next day and her
battery was tested to the satisfaction
OF the inspection board.
Authorities at the Navy Department
say that nothing has been received
from the board, and they are unable
to say whether the test OF the battery
proved to be serviceable or not though
the impression drawn from the preyi-
Gus reports is that it must have been
otherwise.
